Return of the Shred

I'm not surprised that my knee is still bothering me from Saturday's race. My sneakers should have been replaced miles ago and I hadn't given myself much (if any) rest time in between runs. Hopefully the pain goes away soon so I can resume running in time for a 5k race in the next few weeks.

Today I opted out of running (I may take a walk later on if Mason requests it) and decided to bust out my "30 day Shred" DVD.

I started the 28 minute DVD as soon as I put Mason down for a nap. I set up the baby monitor next to my laptop and worked out while keeping a close eye on him. I may invest in another work out DVD since this proves to be the easiest way to work out while being a stay at home mom.

I started with Level 1 and am sad to say that the 3 cycles really wore me out. Her work outs include 3 minutes of strength training, 2 minutes of cardiovascular exercises, and 1 minute of abdominal work, done in 3 different cycles. I wonder how many days I'll actually do this time around. Fingers crossed for 30 :)

About Me

After living in Charlotte NC for 6 years and giving birth to two wonderful little boys, my husband and I have returned to the sunshine state ... FLORIDA! Currently living in Orlando where I'm a SAHM to Mason (4 year old) and Anderson (1 year old). Also have an adorable pup Honey. 99% of my workouts revolve around running ... I love cheeseburgers and use them as running fuel the night before EVERY race. It's a ritual. Why mess with what works?
